What is this bushing (red circle) specifically called for a 1995 f-150 4x4. It needs to be replaced, this is the source of my clunking. Does anyone have a Ford P/N or like an autozone P/N or something. I don't feel like getting a whole kit because this is just a beater truck that is used to play with basically.



Thanks,
Gary

 

Looks to be called an "insulator", part numbers

Left: F2TZ-3B203-A COST 14.65
Right: F1TZ-3B203-A COST 17.05

Also another insulator on the BACK side of the mount bracket:

L and R the same: D9TZ-3B203-A COST 8.22

The arm itself is called a "radius arm" that my help you too!

Good Luck!

 

If you go into Autozone just tell them you need radius arm bushings as thats their common name. When I got mine they are sold with new bushings front/rear and the plastic washer for each side. This is one of those things where as long as you have it apart replace both. Mine were less than $15 for both sides. In order to replace them first you remove the radius arm nuts. Then you need to drill out the rivets on the radius arm crossmember. You will need a few extra drill bits for that since they usually wear out one or 2 bits in the process. You can then take off the crossmember. Then put on your new bushings and replace the rivets with some grade 8 bolts. This is by far and away the easiest way to do it. I tried other ways before and this was by far easiest.

Autozone PN: FA7125 $7.99/side

 

Yeah drilling out the rivets sounds like a good idea. Tried to replace by prying the suspension forward after removing the sway bar links and that wasn't happening. It is beyond me why ford didn't make the mount removable. WTF is with one bolt in there and three rivets?? But anyhow I replaced the rear isolator and the spacer and that has gotten rid of my clunk for now. That is so much better not driving over a bump and the feeling of you front end falling off. I think this weekend I will drill the rivets and replace it that way. Happen to know the diameter of the rivet holes??

..Oh yeah the autozone part you can't beat for a poly bushing 8 bucks..

Thanks Everyone,
Gary

 

As I recall its a 1/2" bit. Those should be the OEM rubber style not poly.
